This tender, classified under the services category, is part of a long-term strategy to support sustainable transportation growth in the region, targeting a population of around 410,000 by 2050. The tender period concludes on 13 August 2021, and the associated contract period spans from 1 September 2021 to 28 February 2023. Interested entities can participate in this open procurement method, which employs an open procedure above the threshold. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in urban transport planning, civil engineering, and environmental consultancy. Companies focused on sustainable transport solutions, urban infrastructure development, or those offering innovative transport technology are particularly well-suited to compete. The Mass Rapid Transit initiative not only enhances public transport capabilities but also aims at encouraging more sustainable travel behaviours, thus creating a platform for businesses to contribute to the region's development while expanding their market presence. ## Notice The Milton Keynes Strategy for 2050 (adopted by Council January 2021 as an annex to the Council Plan) presents a long-term growth strategy for the growth of Milton Keynes borough to a population of around 410,000 people (from around 270,000 people today), set within a context of growth across the wider Oxford-Cambridge Arc. Among its seven big ambitions the strategy aims to "make it easier for everyone to travel on foot, by bike and with better public transport". A major part of the strategy is to introduce a Mass Rapid Transit network for the city, helping people move about in a more energy efficient way. It will also support reduced dependence on private car travel, higher density development, improved accessibility and social inclusion, and decarbonisation. The strategy aims for a phased delivery of MRT so that a complete network is operational by 2050 Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/849a8733-4541-43f9-b3d2-9c2248ff45b4 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Jul 2021 | | Submission deadline | 13 Aug 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Sep 2021 - 28 Feb 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MILTON KEYNES COUNCIL | | Locality | MILTON KEYNES | | Post town | Milton Keynes | | Postcode | MK9 3EJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ12 Milton Keynes | | Local authority | Milton Keynes | | Electoral ward | Central Milton Keynes | | Westminster constituency | Milton Keynes Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90712100 - Urban environmental development planning ## Release History - 16 Jul 2021 at 12:54 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/849a8733-4541-43f9-b3d2-9c2248ff45b4 - 16 Jul 2021 at 12:44 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/849a8733-4541-43f9-b3d2-9c2248ff45b4 - 16 Jul 2021 at 12:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/849a8733-4541-43f9-b3d2-9c2248ff45b4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/849a8733-4541-43f9-b3d2-9c2248ff45b4 16th July 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/milton-keynes/aspx/ Additional information on how to apply for this contract ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
